Buy a 3 piece semi-green bunch and then check the loose bin for the more yellow ones. Good for 5 or 6 days.
Your slices are uneven. C+ for effort.
As for the OP - I suggest buying bananas in a spectrum of ripeness. Visit several stores if necessary.

I usually buy 5. Most of the times, eat with ice cream.
No. 6 of ripeness for me.
#7 is the tastiest and have the best texture by far in my opinion (even if you include #8 and above). But the chart is not a good chart. It ignores benefits of green bananas such as resistant starches.Good chart. I'd take a #7 banana over all of those.

Studies show that resistant starches have a small benefit to body weight if you are overweight. They also help with lean body mass. But their real benefit is with insulin. Resistant starches help with insulin sensitivity/lower risk of diabetes and thus lower diabetes-linked problems such as heart disease and cancer.
Green bananas are high in resistant starches. But as they ripen, the resistant starches are turned into sugars. So the green bananas turn from foods that prevent diabetes to foods that might help cause it as they yellow.
I'm pretty sure looking at that chart that 1-2-3 are a different fruit and not even a banana.
